Dairy Cottage

A charming annexe cottage with lovely countryside views set on a private non working farm estate.

Together with the owners’ adjoining farmhouse, Dairy Cottage is a classically pretty English building: red bricks, a burst of Boston ivy and bountiful gardens beyond. Hidden at the end of a tree-lined drive, it enjoys a true sense of rural calm with fine southerly views across rolling fields.

Part of a non-working (but often sheep-dotted) smallholding, the cottage is accessed through a classic farm courtyard. Its open-plan entrance hall leads into the cosy kitchen, which has every appliance you’ll need, as well as pleasant views of those extensive gardens.

This warm and welcoming country style can also be found in the large living room, which includes a wooden dining table, honey-coloured wallpaper and classic sash windows which bathe the room in sunlight. Upstairs you’ll find the shared bathroom, complete with an inviting bath, and both bedrooms. The first room has twin cast iron beds, perfect for children or friends, while the master has a super-king-sized bed that’s positioned against a backdrop of chintzy, pastoral wallpaper. The master bedroom also benefits from pretty garden views, which are best enjoyed from its romantic Juliet balcony.

Yours to roam, the tranquil and well-tended gardens encompass an orchard area, a courtyard, large lawns — ideal for youngsters with energy to burn — flowery borders, thick hedges and a secluded, sunken area. There are benches on which to sit and read, or simply listen to the peaceful birdsong, as well as a private dining area and barbecue.

Green-fingered guests will also love Scampston Hall, whose wondrous, wacky walled garden is just a short walk away. Only a little further afield lies the long-distance Wolds Way footpath, while walking and cycling trails — not to mention a trail of Gruffalo sculptures — await inside the North York Moors National Park at Dalby Forest. Castle Howard (of Brideshead Revisited fame) and the foodie town of Malton are close too, and it’s 30 minutes to the lovely sandy beach at Filey.

Location

Situated on a non-working farm, Dairy Cottage is ideally located at the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds at the foot of the North York Moors and is just a short 15-minute drive from the vibrant town of Malton which is known as ‘Yorkshire’s Food Capital and is full of fantastic artisan food producers. Centred around the pretty marketplace, you will also find a host of independent retailers offering an eclectic mix of unique gifts, homewares, clothing and antiques.

For provisions, the nearby village of Rillington is served by a village store and a well-regarded local butcher as well as two local pubs which provide a warm Yorkshire welcome.

The North Yorkshire Moors Railway at Pickering is a 20 minute drive away and a great way to explore the vast National Park or, if bracing sea air is what you seek, then a trip to nearby Filey should definitely be on the cards.
